Book Stand Laptop Stand Adjustable Book Holder Tray with Page Paper Clips Ergonomic Multi Heights Angles Adjustable Cooking Bookstands for Textbook Recipe Magazine Laptop Tablet Portable

This does the job. Is it perfect? No. Could any book holder that you set across your lap while you sit in a chair and read be perfect? I don't see how. You can adjust the height and set it up with the legs facing two different ways. And then, separetly, you can adjust the angle of the book. The clips that hold the book (although somewhat delicate) are versatile enough and move so it will work on any size book.On a big thick book that I was starting, I clipped the left side tightly but the right (fat) side I just clipped part of the book, enough to hold it up because I wanted to flip the pages as I read easily without them being clipped down. The book stayed up just fine and the page stayed put well.There are little numbers on the buttons you push to adjust the heights so you can get both sides perfectly aligned. Is is super strong? No but strong enough to hold BIG books. Is it "sorta flimsy" as some reviews wrote? I suppose. The legs appear to be aluminum, not steel (lol). But do you need steel to hold a book? I set this over my lap while I sit in a chair and read. It works. Works well. It is light weight, easy to adjust, easy to move off your lap when you're done reading.I like it and find it great for helping me read comfortably and keeping my hands free from holding the book.

I have been struggling to hold books when reading. I am developing arthritis in my hands. I have tried book pillows and other bookstands, but this one is by far the best. It isn't perfect, but none of the available bookstands seem to solve the problems I see. Overall, I highly recommend this bookstand. I bought the extralarge bookstand in black (I mistakenly thought it would be all black; the black or white refers solely to the color of the panel on which the book lies).The bookstand is very lightweight. It takes very little strength to carry/move it. This is a positive, especially as one gets older.One "failing" is that the bottom arms are not lightly weighted at the tips to ensure that when a book is being held there is a counterweight to the book's weight. The weights don't need to be heavy weights, but they need to be at least a couple of ounces.A second "failing" is that there is a slight lip on which books can be caught. It is the natural edge that occurs from the wrapping of the backboard. Once I became aware of it, I could compensate for it, but it would have been a better design if the desktop was a single piece with no wrapping.A third "failing" is the design and placement of the clips that hold the book. There really should be 3 clips, not 2. I read hardcover books and not all hardcover books are the same. I want the books held open without breaking the spine. With 2 clips it can be done but not as well as it could be done with 3 clips. In addition, the place where the book rests on the clips should be flat, not round. A third clip would also be useful for books that use endnotes.These "failings" are really very minor complaints. I read multiple books at a time, generally 2 nonfiction and 1 fiction, and I have found it easy to switch books and to accommodate books of different sizes and weights (the biggest problem being the lip mentioned earlier). One book I am currently reading is more than 1,000 pages and the bookstand handles it easily.Even adjusting the angles is easy. If I had to pick one thing that I would absolutely recommend be done to the bookstand in a future redesign, it would be to change the angle-adjusting buttons from push-in buttons to raised twist buttons. But even the push-in buttons are easy to use and easy to push in.There is another version of this bookstand available; it has 3 arms rather than 2 arms per side. However, it doesn't have the clips. If your need is for book reading, the third arm is unnecessary as the stand will be too high. More important, however, are the clips. The clips carefully hold a book on the stand; the 3-arm stand that I looked at didn't have clips and relied on a shelf that was not adjustable. This 2-arm stand is not only less expensive but better suited for book reading than the 3-arm stand. As I wrote, my complaints are really minor complaints that would make an excellent bookstand more excellent.

A little flimsy, but does the job nicely. Eminently useful as a book holder in bed. Worth the price.

This works great. Makes reading much easier for me. Eliminates the nexk pain I used to get while reading

I had bought this to help me read books. I am recovering from an hand injury and been sad that reading books have been a challenge. I found this and was so excited to get this.Positive: love how you can change the height and way it sits. Also love how it is lightweight and not that heavy at all.Negative: does not hold the book to wall. Very hard to move the clips that holds the pages for you. Is not that wide. Very hard to have it sit comfortably or lay with it. Need to have it rest on you. The other thing is keeps tipping over nonstop. I have adjusted it many times and no matter what it keeps tipping over.

I love that it can be used with so many angles, and either on a desk, table or in a chair or bed. It is light and easy to move. Also it was delivered quicker than I thought and had great directions for use.

This stand has transformed my time reading books! I love how it securely holds my books at eye level. No more holding the book or bending my neck. It is sturdy, good looking and functional! I keep mine handy with my book in it at all times. My neck and arms/hands thank you! :)

I love to read but I find it difficult to hold a book in my hands so I was thrilled when I discovered this book holder. It has made reading so much more enjoyable and comfortable now that I can prop it up on the stand. It's lightweight, not at all bulky, and it holds the book on the stand very nicely with two sturdy page holders. The first book I read while using the stand had over 375 pages and the stand supported it with no problem. I only gave it four stars because, initially, it was a little difficult to set up. The picture directions were a little tricky to follow. However, once I got it set to a comfortable position for my neck and back, I haven't had to make any adjustments, and I have used it while sitting in two completely different style chairs. I am very pleased with this stand and would recommend it to anyone who has difficulty holding a book.
